Norman Wisdom - The Square Peg - The Parade Ground

[BooshyBoosh2000]

RIP Norman Wisdom...always in our Hearts :') x

[mattsmate]

Does anybody know where this army camp is/was, please?

[COOKIESMINI]

@mattsmate

Woodenz ~ It may be just a film {we all know that} but it was still filmed at a location that is real!!! Some of us research film locations and this location is proving to be very difficult to trace down. If that means we need to get a life......... maybe you do things that others don't undersatnd!!

[freebeerfordworkers]

@COOKIESMINI Why not? As good as collecting railway engine numbers.

If it is of any help all army camps are/were listed at the then War Office and I have seen a map of Britain from the 1970's showing the ones & in use open then. If you check the records from the year the film was made that will give you a start. My guess would be a camp training National Servicemen not too far from the studio. The drill squad are actually very good - too good to be actors.

"Give them an inch and they take a mile...oh they have done!"

"DISMISS FOR TEA!"

LOL!

If anyone tried to remake any of his movies then they really are stupid.

[Ballooner360]

I was first introduced to Sir Norman when I was little. My Nan bought me The Square Peg and I think... Trouble in Store (I think) And he's been an idol ever since.

Such a shame. But he lived a long and glorious life.

Rest in peace Norman Wisdom.

[poklijd]

anyone know where i can find a part in the film where Norman says "oh I see you make joke ha ha ha" then slaps the man across the face? I cant find it anywhere

[class66135]

[pyro999maniac]

I love that he made the queen laugh when he tripped up after being knighted!

[pyro999maniac]

[lufflynan]

PURE CLASS R I P SIR NORMAN

[bobgrantsbus]

Totally heartbreaking news about Sir Norman Wisdom. Grew up watching and loving all Normans films. A genuinely funny man who never received the full recognition that he so richly deserved for his work. Suppose now the newspapers can call him a comic genius when all his fans have known it for years. Goodnight Sir.

[stingray4real]

RIP Sir Norman Wisdom

[Joshua12345]

@stingray4real  Yes, sad. But I am sure Mr Grimsdale is waiting for him.

[thenewmodfather]

@Joshua12345 i can imagine norman getting to the pearly gates and Mr Grimsdale saying 'where have you been Pitkin?'

[Nantchev]

What year is this set in?

1940? 41? 42 even?

[Joshua12345]

I think the 'orrible term / phrase the pros would use is, it's just a generic WW2 scenario, but - for it to be any way realistic it should really be sometime in 1944 just before France was liberated.

[Nantchev]

@Joshua12345

KKO!

So we are talking early or mid summer then, or even late sping.

[woodenz]

@Joshua12345 Oh get a life will ya !! it's a ruddy film ie: it's not real ......

[MyMatt63]

Classic comedy.

[XAnneTinkerbellX]

he is such a legend he is naturally funny god love him lol x

[cheziluvskeanu]

This is so priceless I love watching Norman in his films I wish UK tv would show them all again

[AbzluvzdaBeatles]

he cheers you up when you are down....

[Nantchev]

That is good, that is really good.

[joelwhitaker]

I have his autograph personalised to me!!! And a letter hand signed and personalised to me! gotta love NW!!!

[HELLO2YOU3]

Now that's some groovy square bash in.

[HELLO2YOU3]

[cheziluvskeanu]

I love Sir Norman and I have the honour of sharing the same birthday as him. He makes me laugh and I have all his films.

[mizofan]

Great stuff! Which means your birthday's 2 days after mine. Norman was an army boxing champ, and very BIG in Albania!

[dmacmurray]

We lived in Old Blighty from 1958 to 1961 and I remember Norman Wisdom. I think I saw this movie when we lived there. I also remember Morcambe and Wise, Bernard Bresslaw (Twinkle Toes) and The Army Game...not to mention the football pools and glacier mints and licorice all-sorts. Cheerio, lads.

[oldgattonian2]

Did you go to School in the American Base at Bushy Park by any chance?

[dmacmurray]

Why, yes, I did? How about you? I also attended the school at Bushy Hall before we moved to a different house.

[oldgattonian2]

Thanks for replying so quickly. My name is Chas by the way, No I didn't go to the School in Bushy park but I know of it. I am English and lived in Teddington and attended Schools in Hampton Wick not far from the Base. I was a frequent visitor to the Base and was treated very well by you parents generation. I am in contact with Gary who edits Bushy Park Tales. If you know of a way of me sending you my email address privately please let me know so I can tell you more.

[dmacmurray]

Check your private messages in your You Tube account...I sent you my email address.  Cheers.

[HASSARD2004]

all the movies i've saw of norman are superb, it just shows that you don't need millions of pounds, a top director and hundreds of special effects to make great films

[cheziluvskeanu]

Thanks fo posting this, Sir orman will be remembered highly for his Pipkins days. I grew up on his films and still have them now. My son has grown up on them aswell. He will never be forgotten :)

[Joshua12345]

He's the best, yes, glad you enjoyed it, and if you care to watch full length films on line for free, all his 'gump'( little man ) films are on Lulu TV.

[cheziluvskeanu]

Thanks for the info :) I have all his films on dvd. I love this guy :)

[kirkwallboy]

An equal to Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

[Cikorito]

I grew up in communist Albania, one of the most absurd dictatorships that ever existed. He was one of the few comics from the English speaking world that we were allowed to see, and one of the few things that us Albanians feel nostalgic about when it comes to that period. Heaven bless your soul Mr. Wisdom. A truly great man that brought a lot of light to our lives.

[mrsdead1974]

he is class i just love him to bits thank you

[davinata]

Norman Wisdom and Edward Chapman. Another Great British institution.

[pazman2007]

Fantastic! Oh I cried with laughter at that scene when I was 8 years old. Did so again at 28! Pure genius Norman!
